I'd like to know the correct way of punctuating a sentence, such as
the following, containing a question

A) "My question is, will the exam cover the material in the lectures?"

B) "My question is, 'Will the exam cover the material in the
lectures?' "

C) "My question is: 'Will the exam cover the material in the
lectures?' "

D) Other

(d) Other. Don't ask such silly questions. Everything touched on in the course is fair game. If you want to sleep during lectures, be prepared to pay a price for it.
